sieges

[thomas]

if your enemy uses walls alot and his base is surrounded by them make 8 mortar inf and blow the walls to the harkonnen slave pits.

[daniel]

wut happens if he rushes out?  8)

[Guest Ordos_Yogurt]

wut happens if he rushes out?

[Guest Ordos_Yogurt]

For the rush out thing, he will come ONE AT A TIME. very good, since you will probably have a few things waiting [glow=green,40,300] ;)[/glow]

[daniel]

wut would be god are seige maps eh...one person gets lotsa of defensive little monsy the other lotsa money must seige lol

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Loki, I can't understand a thing your'e saying. ???

[daniel]

sorri...what im saying is a map where itll be perfect where one player is being "seiged" and the other attacking..the "seiger" gets lotsa of resources and stuff....the "seiged" gets high ground...rocks..walls...mainly anything not unti advantages

[Duncan]

a siege is very irregular one person can pass quick in siege a person and be siege.

dont forgoett that siege can be broken always.

to the siege use AA tropers , kobras, mortar infantary and laser tanks plus/u apc  :P :P

p.s- keep a eye in your base u enemy can use a sneak atack

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

These are what I use in a siege.

For AT = Minotaurus's, snipers, kindjals, mongooses.

For OR= Mortar, las tanks, kobras, AA troopers.

For HK= Inkvines, missile tanks, AA troopers.

[Chaos_Storm]

Where will you lay siege though? At their base entrances or their spice fields? Would you deploy your siege at your enemy's spice fields or try to intercept any harvesters getting in and out of his/her base? Prevent your opponent's harvesters from getting any spice and he/she will soon fall out of starvation. Even just destroying the Carryalls is enough to cripple enemy income.

[House_Corrino]

Mortars aren't all that accurate.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Yes but if they hit... ouch. ;)

[House_Corrino]

Thet're most effective against infatry.  Not all that good against vehicals, though.

[Timenn]

Yes they are, I blew up mino's that way

[Terror]

yes... but mino has same range..... and if mino fires....... ouch double time for mortar......

[House_Corrino]

minos have longer range.  mortars are only okay against heavy vehicals, sorta good against light vehicals (if they hit), and good against infantry.  Minos laugh at mortars and then blow up 9 in one burst.

[Terror]

yeah i  know..... the mino has few weak points..... this makes it a popular unit.... the missile tank is a great counter though

[House_Corrino]

Also the assault tank and air units are good counters.

[Chaos_Storm]

Fedaykins and Deviators can handle them nicely if they are distracted. Laser Tanks can dart in and out if managed properly and the long reload time is a major drawback of the Minotaurus leaving it vulnerable. Of course, with large groups of Minotaurus, its a different story if a few cover for others moving. Missile Tanks also need distractions to take down Minotaurus as they get damaged badly due to light armour.

[House_Corrino]

Feds get first strike, so they'll kill several before getting blown up.

[Chaos_Storm]

Fedaykins have short range so are not likely to destroy many Minos in a single volley of shots unless you want to risk getting them overrun. And quite often, they don't get first strike - they need time to uncloak before shooting. This is sufficient for Minos to start shooting. True, you probably will take down a few Minos by suiciding Fedaykins, but it wouldn't be worth it unless you can destroy all the Minos in that single volley of shots.

[House_Corrino]

Minos are too slow to run over feds, and the feds won't be clustered either.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Feds can destroy Minotaurus's easily.

[House_Corrino]

So can sonics.

[Terror]

yeah well... a large group of mino's is hard to counter though...... it is a very good allround unit... to win you have to make use of their weak spots.... which is not range... making sonics not that good vs. mino's
